Mammalia combines elements of comedy, drama, fairy tale, horror, and thriller. Mihăilescu and Téglás confront the lethargy and conformity of standard views of contemporary reality and promote a different type of perspective. In an experimental type of storytelling – a clever satire interweaves anarchy, art, and gender in the name of an unusual, often uncomfortable, sometimes funny, and sometimes clumsy final form. It is an absurdist film, crazily composed with a poetics that induces complete life paralysis. Scenes follow each other only loosely and associatively – they tell the story of Camilo, who can't cope with life, and it's no wonder when reality pulls all sorts of weird stunts on him.
